Answer
Answer: B ✓ checked by 4AB · confidence high

The source book printed C; on checking, B is correct — see the explanation.

Camphor is a terpene (E), insulin a hormone (B) and keratin a structural protein (A), which is option (b) as displayed: (i)-(E); (ii)-(B); (iii)-(A). The stored key C, '(i)-(D); (ii)-(C); (iii)-(A)', came from the earlier letter-shifted option list. The displayed options now match the scan, the printed key is B, and the scan's own explanation gives E/B/A.

Explanation
Camphor is a terpene (E), insulin a hormone (B), keratin a structural protein (A): (i)-(E), (ii)-(B), (iii)-(A).
